There's nothing more fun than waking up in the morning and the news announcing that your school district has cancelled school for the day!!! Since I work in the schools, I still get to enjoy this underrated pleasure in life. :)
It's extra special for me, because my mother was coming to watch Lincoln today and tomorrow so I can go back to work (I say that with the most disgusting grumble). And now I get to WORK FROM HOME - :). And if this treacherous blizzard and horrific ice storm can sustain just a few more days, my maternity leave just got extended to January (with the exception of a little work here and there but no big deal).
Jason and I skipped church yesterday (yes - no excuses) and went Christmas shopping since it was the only day we were going to have a chance to do it before all the madness begins. It was a blast! We went to Pinnacle and I wore a light coat (purple light pea coat that's one of my new favorites now!) and my rainbows which was a perfect ensemble..until about 6:00 - holy crap how crazy is the weather when the temp drops 30 degrees in an hour!!!! By the way, I'm more obsessed (I say more b/c I've always had a slight obsession) with coats this season...I can't stop buying them or asking for them (Christmas...birthday), so if you out there who are dying to get me a gift for the holidays need any ideas, now you know. :)
Lincoln's doing great - he has started holding his head up on his own and it's pretty phenomenal. Maybe hes on track with this milestone, but I feel like he's a little early for this accomplishment??? Maybe not though. Nonetheless, it's pretty cool! Now a not-so-cool thing is that this week he has been having trouble breastfeeding all the sudden! It's like the milk isn't coming out fast enough for him and he gets frustrated and quits trying. Impatient little fellow. Well, he usually always gets over it, except for the last feeding we just did! He ended up getting SOOOO worked up and I eventually had to pour some pumped milk in a bottle. I only did a little though, and he ate that and then I put him back on the boobie and he ate the rest of his feeding just fine. Anyway this makes me SOOO nervous cause I DON'T WANT TO DO FORMULA!!!!! I know you guys know this, but I am a HUGE breastmilk advocate cause it' the perfect nutrition and the absolute best for your baby. I'm okay with formula every now and then, but not as his main source of food. It increases his risks for allergies and doesn't provide the same sort of protection breastmilk does. Did you know breastfed babies have proven fewer illnesses all throughout life than non-breastfed babies??? Anyway, hope today as a fluke :)

Oh I believe it. Breastfeeding certainly is the best and it's wonderful knowing your giving your baby the best you can. Aubrey was not sick at all until right at her year birthday. She got her first ear infection then. She certainly isn't a sick little child and I attribute that to breastfeeding. Plus it gives us mommies an excuse to sit down every once in a while.
